ABSTRACT:
Methods for the elimination of hydrocarbon contamination from surfaces of the earth, such as fuel oil spills on the ocean or like water surfaces, in which at least one liberated aerosol cloud containing a combination of one or more bacterial microorganisms having the property of degrading the hydrocarbons and a culture medium therefor in particulate form is formed in the atmosphere at a substantial height, typically 50m - 1000m, above an area of hydrocarbon contamination on the surface of the earth in such position and under such conditions that the cloud may settle toward and onto that area, the microorganisms undergoing substantial growth as the cloud settles.
